I guess it didn’t do as much for them as they hoped. I’d say Mistwalker didn’t have much of a choice, they needed a big contract and MS was willing to deliver, just like Kojima is in bed with Sony right now, so the game would have probably not existed at all, if it hadn’t been for the exclusive deal. I am also aware,…

I’m still not convinced “they’re a ... user” is the way to solve the problem it ties to solve. We went from “we’re all the same” over “we’re all different, so recognize me” to a partial loss of information, because while the gender of a speaker is not relevant most of the time, quantities are.

I initially hated FF13, because it lacked most of the things I liked about the series. It felt like a long hose with a big sack and another hose attached to it. The characters kept whining and bitching. It wasn’t until years later, when I tried the game again after having played the general game landscape after FF13,…

As somebody who has strong feelings about this topic, let me explain what it means. Once upon a time there was a design element called “backtracking”, a mechanic that required you to re-visit places you have been before. This was the only way for many developers to pack enough content on one disk. Re-using assets and…

You don’t want to read, you don’t want to discuss, you get weird when you are not being agreed with. Why do you bother commenting under those circumstances?

This is so refreshing. Just when reading comments on Kotaku starts to give me nausea, you come along and poop in the pool. You absolutely poked a hole through the language barrier, one that is thick enough to put your ass through and put your floater on the water. I don’t know if this is comedy or for real, but your…

Speaking of American Problems™, your obsession with the American take on fashion in a game made by an American company in combination with your very Urbano-American understanding of cultural misrepresentation leads me to the only one possible conclusion, that snobbism has become so mainstream in the circles you…

For somebody who uses the name “Ilikefacts”, you are a bit resistant against facts-telling. I suspect you are simply not aware of the historic details. Shorter, simpler version: The absence of bad blood in Germany’s case cannot be replicated by today’s Japan without opening the flood gates for a serious political and…

You don’t want that level of bending over and being milked for “historical debt” for yourself. Are you from the US? Do you feel positive about concepts like “patriotism” and “being proud of your country”? How do you feel about being taught in School and television that everybody else has a culture but you don’t?

Will it be another “Verbal acrobatic charisma bomber X killing machine transformed normal dude” tom tom simulator? Floaty McMarkerface?

Video games are delayed so often, because bloggers keep filling every headline with comparisons like Dark Souls and Dwarf Fortress, so developers hope the fad goes away at some point and they can have their ten seconds of undivided attention.

I’m legally a Christian and I would love a Jesus skin for, say, Hanzo or Lucio. I couldn’t care less about the use of mythology in video games. As long as we see prosecution of members of non-established beliefs through domestic intelligences services even in self proclaimed highly developed countries, I couldn’t give…

I regularly kill 3-5 people with artillery ults over ice walls and around corners.

I prefer the post-nerf D.Va to the pre-buff one, but I mostly agree.

I didn’t notice the change much. If anything I am now better with the matrix and control the weapons better. All I’d wish for was some reaction parry against the Roadhook, either on shift or the matrix. Make it a small window, as hard to pull off as the hooked headshot itself.

Eurotard here. I don’t find it “offensive”. Even if I did, that word doesn’t mean much. There is no table flipping culture here, we just go fuck ourselves and deal with it. If there’s anything Murrica about this, then it’s Nintendo thinking all “westerners” are sensitive and easy to offend creatures, because all their…

FYI: The short name is “ESC”, not “Eurovision”.

Stop lying to yourself. Enough people give enough fucks, but a PS4 is within the budget of many people. I’d build such a rig, but I lack funds, so PS4+mid range PC it is.

I’m not doing business with Amazon anymore. If that means I’ll have to miss good Anime, so be it. This entire exclusivity concept is so anti-consumer, that I just might stop consuming. It’s not that I need Anime or other TV shows, I can pretty well do without them.

I don’t even pirate them. I simply ignore them. What? Never saw this show. Amazon exclusive, you say? Explains why.
